An Act amending the act of June 13, 1967 (P.L.31, No.21), known as the Human Services Code, in children and youth, providing for child-care center assistance grants.

This bill creates a competitive grant program to help nonprofit early childhood education groups and public school districts start or expand child care centers in rural Pennsylvania counties with low population density. The funding can be used for buying land, building or renovating facilities, and paying staff salaries for two years to ensure fair wages for teachers and child development associates. To receive the money, applicants must partner with a local business that agrees to cover part of the child care fees for its employees after the grant period ends.
